But he'll also get a shot at November's world championship in Las Vegas, worth seven million American bucks...
...most out of your visit to the 191-year-old distillery where it's made, join the loyalty club, Friends of Laphroaig. You'll get your own square foot of land on Islay, and on arrival at the distillery you'll be entitled to collect "rent" - in this case, a dram of Laphroaig's finest.
